The words "this section shall apply" in subsection (3)(b) of amendment No. 20 refer to the section in the Bill that contains all the other measures. The amendment basically provides that the date in respect of the dividend withholding tax exemption will be 1 January 2019 but the date in respect of all other issues in the amended section of the Bill will be 19 October 2019. The two issues are, therefore, not related.
